Red River Poem by dino evans

These old trees know my name....
A thousand times they have seen my passing..
A soft hello from me old friend...
Another tearful goodbye...

The time has come to rest...
Old legs are weary, the miles I have come...
Just to see you again, and then....
Too soon I must go.. too soon...

I wonder.. will they look out for me....
For a thousand seasons, awaiting my return...
Only to silently weep their autumn leaves...
In my memory...
